Weird Al has won two of three starts at the venue with his only defeat in last year’s Gold Cup. Long Run is 13/8 fav with Kauto Star next at 4/1.

“Weird Al is still proving a popular each-way pick for the Gold Cup despite his price almost halving over the past month and it wouldn’t be a huge surprise to see him go off a single-figure price,” said Betfred spokesman George Primarolo.

Salut Flo is now the 6/1 outright favourite for the Byrne Group Plate after being trimmed from 7/1 by Betfred this afternoon. There has also been money for Salsify in the Christies Foxhunters and the Irish challenger is now 13/2 (from 7/1).
